A great slope skied by an even better skier
Fantastic shot. The framing, DOF, exposure and subject all combine to make this a really good photo.

Your best so far. I like your other "in flight" shots, too. If I can make three requests, since you have phenominal access to these slopes and a great eye for detail: Show some frame of reference in the mid air flips (mountain or something), occasionally use a wide angle lens or wider setting (fisheye would be phenominal), capture some movement in blur by slowing down your exposure. Great work, I want to see more! If you don't like the suggestions, well, I can't blame you. But I would find them very interesting if you had a chance to try. Thanks - Dean

@Dean Francis: Thanks a mill for your suggestions. All comments are really helpful. The slow speed stuff I find hard as the light is so good - but it's always good to have a different angel and will make for an interesting project -
That slope looks steep. I love the sky in this shot. A winner.
